The grip on his neck became very unyielding as he struggled to breathe. The man realized that he had been outsmarted by someone he underestimated. His neck felt like snapping in half before he properly held the handle of his weapon and swung it out like a battle axe.

He swung the knife in a different direction behind his back, trying his best to make Louis let go of him. His failure to pinpoint his exact position made him thrust the tip of the knife close to his neck forcing Louis to finally let go. He quickly moved his feet forward and turned to his back, gasping for air.

He was met with a deafening blow from Louis that sent him falling to the ground with a loud thud. A kick at his waist, sent him groaning in pain, followed by a punch at his chest. Louis didn't give his stalker an opportunity to recover from his hits. He sent more to his face, venting his previous anger and discomfort that the man caused him.

The man still lay on the ground, dazed and injured, when he felt Louis turn

    Louis let go of Don and stepped back, filled with guilt for his ruthless behavior. He staggered at the sight of Don, bleeding profusely from his lips. He couldn't believe he did something like this to a human. He felt obligated to set him free but couldn't tell what Don's action was going to be next. The knife was still somewhere around him and he wasn't going to give into his sentiments only to get injured by a merciless man. So Louis just watched him writhe in pain as he waited for the police to find him. “I hope your time in jail teaches you to respect the life of others instead of treating it like it doesn't matter compared to yours” Louis managed to voice out when Don stopped groaning. They looked at each other, with no clue as to what the other one thought, but they knew how it was going to end for them.“Master!” Queen screamed with concern. She ran closer to him with other muscled men by her side, Louis feared she might tumble down because of her extremely long heels that sh

    The anger in Louis' tone answered the questions in her head. The command that her master gave her would literally end Lord Kelly's company, even though Kelly was one of the richest men in their state. Without the money that Twin Tower lent him, he wouldn't have been in the discussion of the richest.She pushed herself to ask a question with her hands raised high.“Is there a problem?” Louis uttered, still fuming with the anger that reignited in his chest.“Not a problem, just wanted to know something”“Know what?” He queried her.She deliberated on whether to go through with what she had in mind.“Whatever, I should tell him anyway” Queen exclaimed in her mind “Sir, telling lord Kelly to pay up his debt would end his company” she uttered almost inaudibly.“I don't care but why do you say so”His eyes flared up for a quick response from her. It appeared that the sentence Queen had just uttered was what he actually wanted for them. Louis had already concluded that If they were brave en

    Putting up a stance in his decision instead of flip-flopping was one of the personalities that made Louis stand out when giving an order. He arrived at his company before Queen, waiting patiently for her to show him what he ordered her to do before she sent it to Lord Kelly.The safe in his office caught his attention. It stayed there, quiet in a corner and almost fully camouflaged with the room. Queen had told him about the safe, but he thought it only contained the top-secret budget of the company that his former predecessor tucked away to avoid attracting massive tax payments. He changed his sitting posture to face the direction of the Safe. It was a battle of the strongest will, between Louis and the vault. The contents of the safe remained unaware to him and it was like he was being pulled by it. “This is ridiculous; I need to know what's in there,” His patience in waiting until Queen walked in grew very thin, and his curiosity won over patience. The fact that he had never once

    The way he pulled his drawer like his life depended on it, amazed Queen. He raised the drive to show that it was still safe where it had been. The only thing he prayed for at the moment was for the drive to work well. Without wasting any of his precious time, he speedily inserted it into his laptop.The files that popped up surprised him but he breezed through most of the names on the files until he got to the one that contained the code to the safe. “YES!” Louis exclaimed in excitement and rushed back to the safe to unlock it. He pressed the right digits and it unlocked with a vibrating click. Louis pulled the handle and froze at the documents that were stacked on each other. They were all arranged with stamps and various names of companies written in different colors. His instincts pushed him to bring out all the documents while Queen shifted back quietly to avoid prying into information that was kept away from her with good intentions. Louis squatted and read the names inscribed

    “Look at the time, it's almost midnight. Were you expecting me to sit back and applaud your return? You got everyone worried,” Annabelle complained. She placed her right hand on her waist and opened her left palm as a gesture to act out her disappointment. “Sheldon almost stayed up past his bedtime because he wanted to see you,” she continued.Lord Kelly turned his neck to her direction revealing his very drowsy eyes that needed to hit the sack. He yawned loudly before opening his mouth to speak. “I'm here already, aren't I? I'll kiss him goodnight before I go to bed. Is that okay with you?” He said half asleep, leaning on a wall for support.Annabelle stopped her complaints and gave him a sullen look. It was pointless arguing with him because she knew he was too drunk to even remember if they argued when they would go their separate ways.“Yes. I'd like that” she mumbled. She crossed her arms and kept frowning her face as she watched her husband stagger helplessly away from her with

    Kelly's time alone in his car felt like an eternity; his troubled soul longed for an explanation of what he was about to meet at his office. He looked out of his window and the speed that his driver drove with became too slow for him.“I thought I told you to drive faster” Kelly questioned, his voice loud and sharp with a stern expression.“I already did; I'm almost driving faster than the speed limit, sir,” the driver replied, feeling confused at his harsh expression.“Who gives a damn about speed limits, Drive faster, I don't have all day”“Yes sir” With the command of his boss, they got to his company in a little time. Kelly rushed into one of his elevators and quickly got to the top floor where his office was. His secretary paced around the entrance with an envelope in her hands. Kelly scanned the envelope in her hands and noticed the seal on it. It wasn't opened, but from the red colored stamp on the tip of the envelope, he sniffed that trouble was waiting for him.“I'm here, wh

    “Sir” Kelly whispered out of fear. He had begun to realize how erroneous it was of him to barge into his office unannounced. A death stare on Louis' face heightened the tension he felt in his chest.“Who gave you the right to barge into my office? Something must be wrong with you and I can see that now. Security!” Louis shouted, pointing his fingers at Kelly in a violent manner.“Please sir, I beg you. Give me a chance to explain myself,” Kelly begged; he didn't know why Louis had this much animosity towards him. His head kept going to their misunderstanding at the hospital, but he was certain he cleared him of every disrespect his wife must have caused him.“What do you have to say for yourself? If you are not here to give me my money, then I don't want to see you,” Louis scoffed at him.“I don't know why you're asking for your money all of a sudden, but please the deadline is too short. At this rate, I'll come crashing down to utter smithereens, please reconsider me. I'll do everyth

    “Kel, tell them to stop. Why are you just standing there, what is wrong with you? Are you just going to watch them empty our possessions without saying a word?” Annabelle shouted, vigorously shaking him to make him active.Her face spelled terror, standing next to Lord Kelly. The unloading of their property made her take excessive deep breaths to stop the pain in her chest. The cries of Sheldon, infuriated her as she was at a loss of what was happening.“Kelly, tell me what is going on, why were you in the news? If you were going bankrupt, you should have at least told me. How are you going to take care of me and your child? We are going to suffer if you don't do something about this,” she cried at the top of her voice Lord Kelly just looked at her and brushed her aside, entering inside to see what they left him with. He was grateful for the house he was left with; some of their personal belongings were still intact. Annabelle rushed in with him demanding an answer with wet eyes that

    He loved the vibes he was getting just from the short while he had been there. The low-tempo sound that filled his ears felt comforting and almost washed away the eerie feeling he had from the awful experience of the first building he entered.The faces of the six people sitting were not very visible and some appeared to be conversing in discreet tones. He wanted to identify who he was meeting with before he sat, so he texted a message to the number because his calls were not going through. A minute went by, and he still stood quietly for a signal from the real investigator; there seemed to be no response of any sort until his phone rang, and fortunately, it was the investigator's number. He hurriedly answered the call and spoke in a low tone.“Hello, this is your client speaking. Where are you? I've gone through some crazy things just to locate you.” The frustration in Louis' tone was louder than his actual words.“I'm sorry about that, I should have been very clear in my text messag

    She quickly pulled her arms out of Louis' tight grip and launched her purse straight to his face before she ran out of the bar, screaming cuss words at him. Her departure brought attention to Louis, as all eyes faced him to see his next reaction. He was kept at a crossroads of choices of chasing after the con woman or tending to the text message he received from the investigator.“You are lucky, you caught on to her game before she played you out of your money. Most people only realize when she's miles away with their money in Nevada” A man echoed, which made Louis turn his neck after a loud sigh.It was the tattered-looking man who kept peering his neck in Louis' direction. He spoke at the top of his voice like he was merry for seeing Louis and he had a wide grin on his face. He walked closer to Louis, swinging his arms jovially.“I'm pretty sure she'd be looking for her next target to dupe,” the man said after getting close to Louis. His breath reeked of stale alcohol, it was so unp

    “I want information on my family,” Louis revealed in a low and uncertain voice. Her attitude toward him made his senses tingle, but he assumed it was a natural feeling around private investigators. She looked the part of an investigator and her subtle appearance convinced him she was the real deal.“Your family?” She laughed quietly.”That's a classic. Most of my clients always have an issue with their family or their wives. It's pretty common” “Mine's different. I need to know what they are hiding” Louis replied. He placed his arms on the table and reduced his voice to a whisper.“I don't think you want to know the shady part of your family. That is the advice I always tell the curious clients I always encounter” She sounded like she was trying to scare him off, a feeble attempt by the woman for Louis to validate her method. The austere expression on her face felt forced, and for some reason, she kept fixing her eyes in his shoes.“If I don't, then why the hell would I want to meet

    His driver honked at him, a futile gesture to compel him to hop in. He could not wait to take Louis home and have a rest after an almost fatal journey. The impatience was vivid in his forced smile that widened awkwardly.Louis snapped out of his thoughts and opened the door but waited a few minutes before he entered. "I have to get to the roots of this," Louis muttered. He nodded his head and glanced at the shed, which was now empty, as people who were trapped in the rain rushed to their various places. " Something is going on and I have to find out before they bury it deep into the ground" He decided not to block Kent's number; he had a subtle plan of using him as a channel to extract information. Though Kent often joined his family in the awful things they did to him, he was easily manipulated and was easily frightened at little threats sent his way. That was the quality he could use to his advantage. Louis archived his number and deleted the unsaved number that Zick and Veronica u

    “Stand down! Stand down, let him speak” Louis quickly commanded. He rushed in to help the innocent man from the ground. “I'm really sorry, they were only doing their job” Louis apologized as he tried dusting the hoard of sands from his body. Even his face was covered in dust.“Damn it! They did not have to go so hard on me. The way they pounced on me felt very painful” the man complained. It was futile dusting the sand away from his body because of how soaked he was, he could only hiss in disappointment and grumble out words. The man gestured to Louis to stop trying to dust the dirt off because he was only going to spread it. Louis obeyed and felt willing to thank him for avoiding commotion even if it meant losing his job.“Nah, it's okay. I was getting sick of the inhumane treatment already. I just needed something to make me confident about quitting, and luckily, it was you,” the man said, stopping Louis from apologizing further.“I still feel like I cost you your job, it must have

    Louis felt the cold wind of the rain sweep off the warmth from his skin, causing shivers to run down his spine. He stood close to the door, his left hand still on the doorknob and his right hand clutching his pocket to feel his license. After a few seconds, he huffed and let go of the knob, taking two steps forward and stopping to wait for his driver, who was running to the car, to drive closer to him.A thought flashed through his mind concerning his bodyguard's entrance, which he did not expect. He left with only one bodyguard, and somehow, the three he left found their way to him.“How did you guys meet up with me,” he asked the guard on his right-hand side.“We stood by your car, but the umbrellas were just not strong enough to shield us from the rain. Luckily we met a man who recognized your car and offered us a ride to meet up with you. I called your driver to describe your location,” Louis asked about the mystery man but they couldn't recall his name or physical features, so t

    “What are you waiting for? Go ahead and do what I asked you” Selena yelled, hitting the guard at the shoulder. The bodyguard salivated nervously because that wasn't his job, and he looked scared to pick a fight with Louis, who exuded a deadly aura from his stare alone.“I'm sorry ma'am, I can't…”The slap on his face stopped him from completing his statement. He remained stunned for at least three seconds from the burning sensation of the slap.“Will you obey me now?” she thundered. “What are you still waiting for?”The man had not fully recovered from the first hit on his face before she launched two successive slaps to his face, panting speedily at him. She pointed at Louis and yelled for her guard to spring into action. The man exhaled angrily, he looked at Gavin and turned to Louis, huffing loudly as their eyes met his. He took a step forward, clenching his fist in anger.Meanwhile, Louis stood straight, ready for action; he did not move a step back in fear. The guard came closer

    Questions spread through the air as Zick hurriedly ran forward to catch the envelope. Selena gasped in fear for her life, thinking that Louis was about to bring out a gun and threaten them; he looked very menacing at the moment.Zick caught the envelope and refused to open it, His heart beating fast with trepidation. What was in the envelope? And why did he have a certain look of doom upon him? These questions raced Zick's mind as his hate for Louis intensified. He couldn't figure out what the envelope contained with just a bare touch, so he fought with his curiosity to open it.“What is it?” Veronica asked as they gathered around Zick with troubled faces; only Hank and his wife, Selena, remained calm without any emotions visible on their faces.“Damn it! Just open the envelope” Gavin blurted out, thrusting his hands at Zick to grab the envelope.“Don't frickin' rush me and keep your hands to yourself” Zick warned Gavin with a stern gaze at him “If you can't open it, then hand it ove

    “You purposely want to get on my nerves, Louis, and I don't know why,” Selena said, loosening her grip on her husband's hands. The situation was getting heated and she was getting ready to lose her cool.“Ohh, I'm not getting on anyone's nerves. I'm just not used to the pretense I'm seeing. You guys are normally rude when addressing me; why the fake act?” Louis said, raising his voice for everyone to hear him.“Just shut up! I'm tired of your stupid behavior” Gavin yelled. He rushed to defend his mother. From the way he stormed towards Louis, he could feel Gavin was gonna pounce on him, so he knuckled his fist in preparation.“And if I don't. What are you going to do?” Louis lashed back at him when Zick stopped him from causing a fight.“You are a failure. You hear me, Louis. You are a failure who can't do anything without us” Veronica rained abuse on Louis. She hated the way Louis talked to them and she retaliated in any way she could. The only person who stayed calm was Kent because
